ISO27001:2013 Certified Supplier

How Seriously Do We Take Information Security?

We’re an IT company: you’d expect us to say that we take information security seriously – and we do.

But We Would Say That, Wouldn’t We?

We don’t think you should have to take our word for it, so back in 2014 we embarked upon the journey to certification under ISO27001:2013, the Information Security standard. We examined, refined, documented and tested every aspect of Information Security, both within Tiger Computing and extending to how we manage and support our clients’ systems. In May 2015, we put ourselves to the test. We were independently audited and were assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of ISO27001:2013.

What Does This Mean For You?

It means that you can rest assured that we take Information Security seriously; that we will continue to refine and improve our Information Security policies; and that we will be independently audited annually to confirm that we are maintaining the required high standards of ISO27001:2013.

What’s Next?

We will continue to grow our support, management and monitoring infrastructure to ensure that our clients have the very best availability of your systems – and we’ll continue building our team of the best Linux experts in the UK.

The two minute CEO guide: What is Linux, and why should I care?

What is Linux?

Linux is the operating system that underpins some of the world’s biggest businesses.

Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, Salesforce and Facebook all run on Linux, as does every one of the world’s top 500 supercomputers. Linux provides a secure, resilient and scalable foundation to run world-class applications.

Why should I care?

Here are six reasons:

Zero cost licensing. Linux is distributed under licences that encourage copying and free distribution. That’s at odds with the more normal expectations of a software licence. Linux is Open Source software, and part of the Open Source philosophy is to encourage software to be freely used and shared. There is no per-licence cost.

Security. Linux has an excellent record of security. That’s part of the reason why the corporations listed earlie use Linux. Contrary to intuition, the Open Source nature of Linux increases security. More visibility of the source code means more eyes to identify potentially insecure code, including the provision of “back doors” that bypass security measures.

Resilience. When was the last time you found Google wasn’t working? When was the last time Amazon was down?

No vendor tie-in. There is no central “Linux plc” or “Linux inc”. There are multiple, compatible providers of Linux software and services.

Flexible. Linux meets many requirements out of the box, but in extreme cases you have the option to hire a programmer to make custom changes for your situation.

Why Tiger Computing?

We’ve been building and supporting Linux solutions for high tech, fast growth businesses since 2002.

We specialise in Linux solutions for high-tech industries such as chip design companies like Ericsson, leading BioScience companies including eTherapeutics plc and Oxford Gene Technology, and health providers such as the NHS.

We work only with Linux. We work with it all day, every day, and we understand how to get the best from it.
